810011 IE6 sp1 Wrapper problem...

[PJ]

Hi all...

Have a big problem. I try to distribute IE6 SP1 to network computers using
GPO.
Microsoft have Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (SP1) Setup MSI
Wrapper, which discussed in article 810011. I do all according this article
to create IE installation package.

Clients computers get GPO IE msi package and install it, but during the last
phase of installation the user with admin rights must logon to computer to
complete installation (restricted user get message that it can not login to
workstation and complete the installation).

May be anybody know how to solve this problem? I realy neet to distribute
IE6 SP1 over enterprise...

Thanks...

Hi PJ!

First some checking;
- you did assign the msi package to the computers (not
users)?
- in GPO you have "Always install with elevated
privileges" in use?

Comments;
I had so many problems (about box was empty in IE, new
window always opened blank in IE, 'add/remove programs'
box completely vanished) when I deployed IE6 with the MSI
Wrapper and users logged on after install as regular
users.
To get rid of this I promoted "all" users to local
workstation admins during IE6 setups login step. Not a
nice solution - but what can you do?

Seems like MS has a LOT to do regarding IE, DirectX and
MediaPlayer version updates using MSI deployment! It's an
incredible mess, worse than thirdpart non-MSI packaged
software distribution!

I wound up using a VBscript to run through the runonce keys and run
everything in the localsystem context when the system started up (it was a
startup script). It solved several other sloppy MSI issues, like Roxio Easy
CD Creator.
